Maximizing Computational Capability with Minimal Power

摘要

Getting higher power efficiency: Neuromorphic Engineering -- 400MMAC/neuron at 20pW vs. digital and analog. Neuromorphic processing = event- based processing uses power only when useful signals are present ('always on' in sensors or further processing). Programmability and Configurability empowers neuromorphic design towards useful applications in a reasonable timeframe. Address Event Representation = sizes of largest custom neuro ICs. Can model pryamidal cells in configurable fabric in approximately 1mm2 area with realistic channel, dendrite, and xynapse elements (power in nW level and decreasing).
